Upcoming MG model's suspension revealed: MG showcases Australian-designed suspension system for its forthcoming utility vehicle in 2025

The automotive industry is abuzz with anticipation as MG Motor Australia prepares to launch its latest offering, the MGU9 dual-cab ute, in mid-September. This new model is set to make a significant impact in the competitive ute market, promising a unique blend of payload stability and ride comfort.

At the heart of the MGU9's innovative design is a multi-link rear suspension system, a feature typically reserved for performance cars and premium SUVs. This system, developed locally by MG Motor Australia's engineering team, has been extensively benchmarked and tested across various Australian road conditions.

Peter Ciao, CEO of MG Motor Australia and New Zealand, spearheaded the project with a keen understanding of local expectations. The result is a multi-link rear suspension system designed specifically for Australian conditions, expected to enhance comfort through better absorption of bumps, improve traction under all conditions, and reduce noise and vibration.

This system also aims to improve grip, enhance cornering stability, and provide greater cornering stability and reduced body roll. Each rear wheel of the MGU9 will move independently, thanks to the multi-link system, allowing for a smoother ride and improved handling.

The MGU9 will not feature the rear leaf-spring setup found on the LDV T60 Max and its Chinese-market twin, the LDV Terron 9. Instead, it will boast a more advanced suspension arrangement, fitting Australian-delivered versions of the MGU9 with this revolutionary system.

MG's ambition is to break into Australia's top five automotive brands with the arrival of the MGU9 dual-cab ute. To achieve this, the vehicle will arrive with a robust chassis and powerful drivetrain, aiming for work-ready durability and passenger-friendly comfort.

The MGU9 dual-cab ute is designed to offer a versatile balance between on-road refinement and off-road toughness. With its unique multi-link rear suspension system, it promises to provide greater stability, comfort, and handling, setting itself apart in the competitive ute market.

Following its official launch, first showroom arrivals of the MGU9 dual-cab ute will follow shortly. This marks an exciting new chapter for MG Motor Australia, as they continue to push the boundaries of automotive innovation.
